There's also another lesson to be learned for the older generation. Make sure your children/grandchildren don't find out about how you think their generation is dumb. You might find yourself mighty lonely and out of luck later in life when you need help.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm not depending on a younger generation or luck for anything. As far as young people go, generally speaking, by the time they are in any position to help anyone, they have matured to a point that they have outgrown pettiness. As for the young people in my life, whether I think young people in general are a little dim or not, they are being raised correctly. When their time comes to help others in the family, they will have instilled in them the understanding that the family is more important than the individual.

I wish more of the world were populated by the adults you seem to know, because as I look at the world of adults who are in positions to help people, there is no shortage of pettiness and a plenitude of selfishness.
